Exeter Cathedral is an imposing structure of beauty and antiquity in the heart of the city. This majestic cathedral is over 850 years old and is one of the finest examples of Decorated Gothic work in England today.

The two towers of the Norman Cathedral, built in the 12th century are still there, whilst inside visitors will marvel at the longest uninterrupted stretch of decorated Gothic vaulting in the world.

Virtually all of the Cathedral is accessible by wheelchair. Ramps are available to gain access to the Quire and to the Visitors Centre. The Chapter House and Refectory are accessible from the site of the Cloisters.

Guide dogs for the blind and 'hearing' dogs are admitted (but no other dogs).

Please note that we do have an excellent T - Loop system in place for the Deaf - please turn your hearing aids to T to cut out all the background noise when you are listening to speech over the microphone. The induction loop is in addition to the Cathedral's excellent sound system.

A 'Touch and Hearing' centre with a wooden model of the Cathedral and a raised ground plan is available, along with a 15 minute taped commentary.

A 1½ hour audio self guided tour is available from the enquiry desk. This may be used by two people at the same time.

A Cathedral Guide is also available in Braille, on loan from the enquiry desk.
